Levi Strauss jean company has decided that its customers are in need of a nanny. I had been hanging to my old 501s & 505s as fitness goals. Maybe I'll just burn them now.

They're headquartered in San Francisco so it doesn't come as any real shock.

Nothing new to see here...Levi Strauss has been doing this type of stuff for years, In 2016 they flat out said they did not want people exercising their 2A rights in their stores so please leave your guns at home. This is just an escalation of existing corporate thinking toward gun control.

Yup. This is one of the few companies that got me pissed enough to boycott them. That was when they first made this gun control push in I think the early 90s (maybe earlier). I think they were catering to the MTV crowd at that time. They were the first company that I ever boycotted.

I'd been planning to getting a new "jeans" jacket. Still will, just won't be one of theirs.

If I remember correctly, there have been a number of articles written on how millennials base their shopping habits on the virtue-signalling of the manufacturer or vendor. Which would be marvelous, if more people understood what virtue means. In any case, we can only expect more of this. America's business climate has turned hard left. I guess they'll only straighten up when consumers force them to.

They took some anti gun stance years ago, over a decade ago.
I haven’t bought a pair since.
-
I can't boycott them any more than I already am, so I'm guessing they are just trying to weed out the last few stragglers of normal Americans that will still purchase their product.

Which is fine, because it makes it easier for the rest of us to identify the commie-pinkos. Just look for the little red tab. =D

I would appreciate it if you stopped staring at my ass, majestic as it may be.

Levi Strauss is doing a fair job of corporate ruin with their pricing on your basic jeans. The competition is almost as good and you can buy them for under $20 a pair.

Their "Go Forth" add campaign always gave a lefty vibe.

Why is Grunchlk in a MadMax movie?
Levi Anti-2nd in the early 90s? That was before I got firearms rabies, so this was new to me.

Yup. I can't remember everything behind it, but I seem to recall at the time they were one of the first "big companies" to take such an "in your face" anti-gun stance, and that's what got us all riled up at the time.
There were of course, then just as now, plenty of companies that were anti-gun behind the scenes, but I'm recalling Levis - and this was pre-internet - was pretty much running a, "we hate gun owners" campaign.

I'm a commie-pinko today. I found some Levi's carpenter pants at a thrift store for ~$10. I like them pretty well, except that they have only one belt loop between 3 and 9 o'clock. What is that about?

Made for use with clip-on suspenders, the kind that use real clasps and not those girly little things you see on hippie suspenders from LL Bean.

I would guess that would be about 6 o'clock....

I've lost count on the number of Levi jeans I've worn out completely. Prefer to buy Dickies jeans. Holding up good so far, no sign of ruined crotches yet.

They don't make money on second-hand sales, so I don't see a problem.
Kind of like buying a used S&W back when they were bending over for Clinton and Co...

Tom Knighton, an admitted lifelong Levi's jeans wearer, maintained he'd no longer support the company.
"And just like that, I'll never own another stitch of Levi Strauss clothing again in my life," Knighton stated.
Works for me. Walmart's house brand jeans fit me better than Levi's, last longer, and cost around 10 bucks a pair. Why would I ever go back to Levi's?
-
Since I reluctantly transitioned to a larger phone, I find the leg pockets on some brands will no longer work for me. Levi's and Dickie's are two brands that still work.

Maybe they're ladies' jeans?... Do they have really shallow pockets? :lol:

Unfortunately, right now, Levi's are really the only jeans that fit me. Hopefully that will change once I lose more weight, because I hate giving my money to them.
But, I also love knowing that I'm carrying a hammerless .38 snub in the pocket of my Levis. :)

Trouble with Dickies is that when they add cargo pockets, they shrink the regular front pockets. Then you wind up with keys jabbing you in the leg.
Besides, I can check out jeans while I'm searching Goodwill for more $6 Propper EMT pants, and buy whatever brand fits right without any of the manufacturers making a cent.

Duluth Trading has tough jeans with huge pockets, but they are really proud of them.
I use DT or Dickies at work, which involves a lot of fabrication mixed with crawling around in bilges. DT's last at least twice as long as the Dickies, but they cost like 2.5 times as much.
